Undeniably, delivery technologies, whether network-based or broadcast, are critical to the future of mobile TV. Capacity is already a key issue and will become an even more critical one as consumer demand begins to outstrip wireless network capacity.

Consumer preferences for mobile television will evolve with linear and on-demand programming that is personalized, interactive, location aware and time independent.
